Feathery touch -- perhaps my favorite "descriptive term" in basketball. Keith Wilkes, David Wingate, Reggie Miller, Mark Macon, Calbert Cheaney, Chris Mullen, Keith Lee.......and perhaps even Kendall Gill after his Freshman year. Give me 2-3 of those type players any day!
That is a great term. I also like Loren Tate's old term to describe a hustling player: whirling dervish
First time I remember him using it was to describe Dennis Pace then Randy Crews. He's used it for those hustling, diving, defensive, quick handed players. Don't know why, but it always makes me smile.
